Fusion

STRING allows inspection of the interaction evidence for any given network. Choose any of the viewers above (disabled if not applicable in your network).

Nodes:

Network nodes represent proteins

splice isoforms or post-translational modifications are collapsed, i.e. each node represents all the proteins produced by a single, protein-coding gene locus.

Node Color

colored nodes:query proteins and first shell of interactors

white nodes:second shell of interactors

Node Content

empty nodes:proteins of unknown 3D structure

filled nodes:some 3D structure is known or predicted

Edges:

Edges represent protein-protein associations

associations are meant to be specific and meaningful, i.e. proteins jointly contribute to a shared function; this does not necessarily mean they are physically binding each other.

Known Interactions

from curated databases

experimentally determined

Predicted Interactions

gene neighborhood

gene fusions

gene co-occurrence

Others

textmining

co-expression

protein homology

RSAG_02997

Phosphatidylserine decarboxylase (304 aa)

mprF

Uncharacterized protein ; Catalyzes the transfer of a lysyl group from L-lysyl- tRNA(Lys) to membrane-bound phosphatidylglycerol (PG), which produces lysylphosphatidylglycerol (LPG), a major component of the bacterial membrane with a positive net charge. LPG synthesis contributes to bacterial virulence as it is involved in the resistance mechanism against cationic antimicrobial peptides (CAMP) produces by the host’s immune system (defensins, cathelicidins) and by the competing microorganisms (343 aa)
